Metacaulk Cover Guard Single Gang Receptacle - Case of 50

The Metacaulk Cover Guard is a 1-piece fire-rated gasket designed to meet the "24-inch rule" for electrical boxes installed in rated walls.

When exposed to heat, its intumescent material expands to form a char, sealing openings, preventing flame spread, and limiting heat transfer to unexposed areas. Ideal for use when electrical boxes face opposite directions and are horizontally separated by less than 24 inches, the Cover Guard also provides a solution for standard electrical boxes violating the 100 square inch rule.

Key Features:

• Fire Protection: Intumescent material expands to form a char, sealing openings and preventing flame spread.
• Easy Installation: Mounts on the inside of cover plates and installs simultaneously, saving time and labor.
• Space-Saving Design: Does not take up volume in the electrical box, making it a practical alternative to putty pads.
• Sound Control: Reduces sound transmission with an STC rating of 54.
• Compliance: Meets ASTM E814 (UL 1479) standards for firestop systems.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for both metal and plastic cover plates, tested for 1 and 2-hour fire ratings.

Applications:

• Use when electrical boxes are installed in rated walls facing opposite directions and horizontally separated by less than 24 inches.
• Provides a solution for standard electrical boxes when the 100 square inch rule is violated.
